Default Oil coolers and relocation kit--(Where can I get them)

I have the spoon x-brace and as we all know changing the oil can be kinda messy.
So I thought I'd install an oil filter relocation kit. I could then put the filter in a much more accessable area.

So I figured sence I'll be moving it anyway I might as well install a cooler as well. I don't track the car but it can't hurt.

I just don't know who sells them.

Thanks

Canton Racing makes all kinds of adapters and coolers, but I don't know who makes a kit. Canton's thermostat is pricey.

A feature of the stock car is a oil/water cooler.

Greddy oil filter relocation kit. $160 (universial honda application)

They also have oil cooler kit for $600 but they don't have an application for S2000.

Thanks for all the info guys!

I'm not that keen on having to use the 87 toyota filter either. I'll guess I'll wait.

Thanks again!

Try using NEO 0-5w oil. You can extend the change interval longer so that you won't get so messy so often. It's cheaper than that Greddy kit!

It matters to me because I think Honda OEM filter is the best
filter out there (except the JDM OEM Honda filter, yes they're different!)

Using different weight of the engine oil is not a solution to me and also is not recommanded by honda. Honda recommanded
10w-30 for S2000 engines.
